Should quadruplet brothers apply to the same prestigious universities?

Thanks for the well wishes ya’ll. I can’t believe we all got in, and that we found out so early! (We applied RD). I can’t wait to see what the future holds for my brothers (I’m pretty much decided on Georgetown SFS).

OMG! All 4 at Vanderbilt…now that, my OP, is very very cool! Wow…

How did you guys found out today if you applied RD? Congrats tho!!

Congratulations to you and your parents! That is awesome!

Ahhhh!!! I’m so happy for you guys :slight_smile: I was wondering how this would turn out when I saw your original post a while ago.

@qwertyemily I dunno… we all got a letter saying "Congratulations! You have been admitted to the first year class entering Vanderbilt university in the fall of 2017. (Yadada selected from most competitive pool in history)… although we will mail your official admissions packet by April 1st, we are notifiying you now to invite you to attend our Mosaic multicultural program, etc, etc.

By mail? Or email? Sorry just really curious lol

Wow, congratulations! That’s really exciting. Where are your brothers leaning toward attending?

By post @qwertemily

Thanks @Fishnlines29

Me: Georgetown SFS, Princeton Woodrow Wilson (IR and Arabic)
Bro1: Stanford, Vanderbilt, or Cal Berkeley (Computer Science and Cognitive Science)
Bro2: Johns Hopkins, Harvard, OS( (Neuroscience)
Bro3: Stanford, Georgia Tech, Cornell

We all got in at Vandy, which is amazing and super great, and I’ve gotten into Uchicago and Georgetown SFS so far. But who knows, a full ride at OSU might tempt us to go there lol.

Well, that’s really exciting, can’t wait to hear where you all end up!

Congrats!! Did u get decent aid at Georgetown?

Hi everyone, another one of the quads here! I just wanted to thank you all for your kind words.

To answer your question (a bit more in depth), @qwertyemily, we were accepted via a mailed invitation to attend Vandy’s MOSAIC Multicultural Program in March. You can find more information about the program here: https://admissions.vanderbilt.edu/vandybloggers/category/mosaic-vus-multicultural-student-recruitment-program/

Congratulations !!!
Is financial aid sufficient for the four of you?

I am so glad all four of you got in. Just imagine if only three of you had, poor fourth brother! I think you should all go! How cool would that be?!

@suzyyq The aid I got at Georgetown was good, but I think I’m doing rotc there, and they said I could keep some of the aid (approx $3,000) on top of the full tuition scholarship. So in short, yes! @MYOS1634 We don’t know about the aid at Vandy yet.

One nice thing about Vandy is that they guarantee to meet your financial need without loans. You can still take them to pay the family portion, but loans are not included in the offer.

Two of us won the full ride Morrill Distinction award at OSU!! (now to decide if Georgetown SFS/Vandy/ the Ivies is worth turning down a full ride)

Congrats again!!

Wow!
In my opinion, SFS is worth turning down a full ride, for that field of study.
Not sure for the other brother. Stem is flatter than IR.

It depends on how much GW SFS/Vandy/Ivys will cost you.
